Interesting House Guests

One of the blessings of living in Guam, kind of right in the middle of things in the Pacific, is that we get to meet a lot of interesting people from a lot of interesting places. We jokingly, refer to our house as the "Owen Hotel" because so many people stay with us. While I am glad that we can help people out, it is really we who get the blessing. This past weekend was one of those times. Michael Wang contacted us a while back about the possibility of being a guest teacher at PIBC. Mike is on the faculty at Oklahoma Central University and also teaches at the University of Oklahoma. He was in Taiwan, doing some typhoon relief work and asked if he could stop by and see our operation. We had a great time of getting to know each other and discussing how we could partner in ministry. We are hoping that Mike will also be a contact who will help us bring in some students from Taiwan.

Mike also got to join us for our Labor Day activities. Because we did registration on Monday, we confined our recreational activities to the evening. Joyce BBQ'd some burgers and dogs and we enjoyed a rousing game of dominoes with the Plaxtons, the Bocks and Mike. A great time was had by all and surprisingly Joyce didn't win - Sharon Bock took 1st place. Mike headed back to Oklahoma the next morning.
